Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wiper for motor vehicle.
- the invention relates more particularly to a wiper for a motor vehicle of the type comprising a wiper blade pressed against a window to be wiped with a wiper arm articulated on an alternating sweep drive head of the wiper, the arm comprising a heel arranged on the arm wiper which, when the wiper is at rest, cooperates with a bearing face of a ramp fixed on the vehicle in order to raise the wiper arm for at least limit the support pressure of the wiper blade at rest
- a wiper is of the type disclosed, for example in FR-A-2 636 582 or US-A-4 765 019.
- this support pressure which extends into the time, may deform the wiper blade irreversible and cause a sticking phenomenon of the wiper blade.
- the invention provides a windshield wiper for a motor vehicle of the type seen above, characterized in that the heel of lifting is carried out integrally with the wiper arm.
- FIG. 2 There is shown in Figure 2 a wiper 10 provided for wiping a rear window 12 of a motor vehicle 14.
- the wiper 10 essentially comprises a blade wiper 16 which carries a squeegee 18 for wiping the window 12 and which is mounted articulated about an axis A1 substantially parallel to the plane of the window 12, at the free end 20 a wiper arm 22.
- the arm 22 is pivotally mounted on a drive head 24, around an axis A2 substantially parallel to the plane of the window 12.
- the head 24 is mounted at the end of a shaft 26 drive in alternating wiping of the wiper 10, around an axis A3 substantially perpendicular to the plane of the window 12.
- the motor vehicle 14 is moreover provided with a ramp 28 fixed to a body panel 30 at the base of the window 12.
- the ramp 28 is provided to cooperate with the arm 22 to lift the wiper 10 when it is in rest position and more particularly to relieve support of the squeegee 18 on the glass 12.
- the windscreen wiper arm 22 is produced by molding, in particular in plastic material.
- This known technique allows in particular to obtain a wiper arm 22 which is light and whose shapes are easily comply with aesthetic requirements.
- the wiper arm 22 comprises in particular two wings parallel lateral 32, 34 vis-à-vis. Wings 32, 34, substantially perpendicular to the plane of the window 12, are joined at their upper edges by a back upper 36 substantially parallel to the plane of the window 12.
- ribs 38 are also provided arranged in the space between the two side wings 32, 34 and upper back 36.
- the arm wiper 22 has a raised heel 40 made integral with the wiper arm 22.
- the lifting heel 40 is produced in the form an extension of the side wing 32 of the wiper arm 22, which is the wing which is intended to enter first contact with the ramp 28.
- the heel 40 is arranged on an edge lower 42 of wing 32, and it extends substantially in the direction of the glass 12 to be wiped.
- the lifting heel 40 has a thickness substantially equal to that of the side wing 32 and its lower edge 44 in vis-à-vis the glass 12 to be wiped forms a bearing surface intended to cooperate with the ramp 28.
- the ramp 28 is fixed to the body panel 30 of the vehicle 14, for example by a screw 46.
- the ramp 28 has an inclined plane 48 of engagement extended downwards by a bearing surface 50 which is substantially parallel to the plane of the window 12.
- the ramp 28 also has a spout 52 which is arranged in transverse projection on the lower edge 54 of the bearing surface 50.
- the spout 52 is provided to cooperate with the heel of uplift 40 to determine the angular position of wiper rest 10.
- the wiper 10 When the wiper 10 is in service, it is animated by a alternating scanning movement around the A3 axis.
- the wiper arm 22 descends from the top down from ramp 28, considering the figure 2, to reach the rest position shown in the figure 3 which is the so-called "parking" position.
- the lifting heel 40 continues its vertical movement by sliding on the bearing surface 50 of the ramp 28 until reaching its lower edge 54 at neighborhood of the spout 52.
- the heel cooperation 40 with the ramp 28 therefore allows lift the wiper 10 and determine angularly the wiper 10 rest position.
